I'm scared.

Your words in my head

both made up and real

You say it's okay

but I want you to say

"I love you too"

You wink at me in the halls of my brain

at school you're warm

you bring light in my life

yet I shelter myself in darkness

i don't want to open up

if I let the light in

will i get burnt?
